Another year of fun at Winter Park and another weekend of Crankworx is fastly approaching. Hopefully I will actually go and experience it this year — from the Manley cabin deck.
Live Webcast if you can’t make it.

Attention filmmakers — Soak this in.
Saturday, July 24th could be a very big day for you.
Congratulations Sammy C for landing the first ever switch triple rodeo 1260. Balls.
Music is kind of annoying – but this is interesting. David Jon Kassan has some interesting experimental visual research projects.
When was the last time you picked up a homeless guy and brought him into your studio? That’s what I thought.
My cousin sent me this video which is entertaining and comical to watch Rick K play the drums in the background. But why not check out a song that takes some real drumming talent.
Who is this group The Allnighters and where do they play? Imagine if Will Ferrel played drums – sounds like a movie to me.
1. Creativity.
Wieden + Kennedy Portland and Old Spice’s The Man Your Man Could Smell Like, aka Isaiah Mustafa, continue their marathon of manly manliness with more personalized video responses to the brand’s online following. Since yesterday, TMYMCSL has smoldered directly at the unknown and the well-known, including Ashton Kutcher, Mrs. Ashton Kutcher, Gears of War lead designer Cliff Bleszinski, um, yours truly and, in a brilliant meta-manly move, Isaiah Mustafa. He even delivered a marriage proposal, which was eventually accepted.
According to art director Craig Allen, the agency and Mustafa will be continuing the responses through today, so tune into the Old Spice YouTube page to see if Isaiah will single you out and check back here for a Q&A with the team that made it happen.
He also customized videos for a string of celebrity admirers, including Ashton Kutcher, Ellen DeGeneres, Ryan Seacrest, blogger Perez Hilton and Olympian Apollo Ohno.
“Can the Old Spice guy do ads for ALL the world’s products?!” tweeted actress Justine Bateman, echoing the sentiments of enraptured fans everywhere.
3. People.
The top 10 picks for June, with links to view on YouTube:
1. adidas – ‘Star Wars’ Cantina 2010, agency: Sid Lee
2. Volkswagen – The Slide (Driven by Fun), agency: Trial DDB
3. Head – Andy Murray Street Magic in London, agency: n/a
4. Iceland – Visit Iceland, agency: n/a
5. Coca-Cola Zero & Mentos – The Coke Zero & Mentos Rocket Car, agency: EepyBird
6. Orbit Gum – The Prom Date, agency: Energy BBDO
7. McDonald’s & Coca-Cola – T-Shirt Wars 2, agency: n/a
8. GMC – Dude Perfect: The Cliff Jump Shot, agency: Leo Burnett
9. Sapporo – Legendary Biru, agency: Dentsu
10. Lynx Rise – Jessica Jane Clement – Her Best Bits, agency: n/a
I’m pretty NOT impressed with this list of virals. We have a couple sellouts here… Rhett and Link did a good job communicating with their audience while pushing a professional commercial out – good job to them. Dude perfect on the other hand I was not so impressed with. EepyBird is somehow still making a living by selling out to sugar water, good for them – at least they are consistent in their delivery.
Overall it just seems like people are trying to damn hard to get it right. If I had to pick a winner – I like the Volkswagen concept, but not the video they pushed out. Sapporo took me on an adventure and Lynx was the only video I continued a click through on — I wonder why.
Until next month – get some strange.
There is only one location in the world where you can enjoy a Batch19 and a Colorado Native in the same sitting — and it’s free.
Come visit your local Coors Complex in Golden, CO and lets grab a beer, or 3.
Coors tours and tasting facility (lab) is open seven days a week from 10:00am – 4:00pm through the summer months.
Level 1 Eye Trip Official Trailer from Level 1 on Vimeo.
Turn out, tune on, and drop in.
Skiing’s counterculture continues to buck the trends of what’s come before them- this is a worldwide documentation of ski action as you’ve never seen it presented before.
Follow the Level 1 crew as they experiment with one of the largest gap jumps ever built in Sun Valley, Idaho, hit a record snowfall in Helsinki, Finland, and harvest the vast resources of Alaska… or perhaps it’s all just a lucid dream?
Wake up, because Level 1 will take you on the visual trip of a lifetime. Come along for the ride!
A little long – but the concept is there and this is unique with some flavor.
Nice find Feldman.
